There's always a commentary about the "payscale" of mods & TB members...From my 5 years as TB'er, the only "pay" we ever got was a 1 time small stipend towards covering travel expenses to a TB meeting. From what I understand, some mods recieve elite status in some programs....so may not have a physical salary, but don't let it be said that there are no benefits to being a mod.
That said, most do serve our community well - but there are some that should be forced a break to remember what it's like to be a member....
Yes, moderation is out of the purview of the TB and with no "ORP" style forum anymore, there's no public place to discuss it. I actually would love to see Moderation be within the purview of the TB - it'd give us more to do than create forums and bicker about post counts counting or putting restrictions on member access....which is basically what all of our motions seem to be about...
